Jim and Deborah Chapman had the opportunity in 1985 to learn pewtersmithing from friends who were closing their studio.  Creating pewter products together has been a natural extension of their individual artistic explorations...Deborah in ceramics and costume design, and Jim in woodworking and bookmaking.
 
Over twenty years later even their children have gotten involved, with the youngest declaring (at age 6) that he would be the future "boss".  Their work has been a gallery favorite for 20 years and their creativity continues to grow.
 
 
 
Blake update
Progress of past associate 
 
 
Engebretson bee set 

BLAKE, MARCIE, and the dog, MILES, have settled in  San Antonio where Marcie's family can help during rehab.

 

Blake writes:  "All in all we are O.K.   Physical therapy  has me sore as hell, but at least I know the muscles are there and working.  I believe that while I was at Texas Institute of Rehab and Research in Houston, I wasn't in denial about my condition, but in denial about how unpleasant and uncomfortable it was going to be outside the incubator of a hospital.  Everyday is an achievable challenge."

Great wedding gift

"Perfect Union"
 
This pewter motif is an Artist Craftsman design from the turn of the century.  The two entwined trees become one symbolizing unity.  The story on the back reads:  "Some things, when together, are more complete than when standing alone."
 
While in college in Houston, Cynthia and Tom worked in the Galleria Mall and would meet at Hanson Galleries during their lunch hour to enjoy all our wonderfully crafted work and dream of their future.   They are now Mr. and Mrs. Webb and credit Hanson Galleries with giving them inspiration to start their own craft business.

Thank you for supporting our American artists!
 
  
Sincerely,
Art, Donna, Larry and all your friends at Hanson Galleries
